Precision set probably not the right set to be using for those processor adjacent screws. Put a torx bit onto something a bit beefier. It’ll be easy to undo, less likely to cause damage to both the board and yourself. Doing it like this will give you blisters and hand ache.
I have the 12 core 2015 Trash Can with 2tb ssd and 64gig ram - quite speedy with 4K video footage dual D700 Graphics and as been running for the last 2 yrs with No problems
Instead of using paper towels to clean the die surroundings, soak it in 95% IPA then use a soft toothbrush. Less risk of taking components out and also less risk of leaving small bits of paper in there which could mess with things.
A good shout too and something I also do situation depending, however I was out of IPA at this point and my electronics reserved tooth brush was last used to clean the intake manifold of a 1.9 TDI :p
I have one of these that I just use for 'office' work and its fine. I wouldn't bother with upgrades, just get a new mac mini which will be a superior machine.
I would say it was "built to a cost", which is not what you expect from a pro machine. The clearly wanted a small machine to cut down on shipping costs and increase profits.
I have transfered the ssd heatsink on mine and it's perfectly fine... there's just a huge strip of thermal pad under there... I would assume it helps somewhat as the SSD gets pretty hot.
Does it only take Xeon chips? No i5/i7?, its deffinately an interesting design, does look like a trash can except its not hollow in the middle to throw trash away. theres probably a specific torque setting for the cpu mount. Thermal paste the rule ive learnt is theres no such thing as too much paste but not enough is bad, that said with lots you run the risk of mess and paste going everywhere, With pre set retention mechanisms it should not be possible to crack cpu or gpu dies, its more with aftermarket or direct mount no screw bottoming out mounting that can happen, cheap aio's, cheap heatsinks, Phase Change cooling or LN2 Pot Cooling.
Unfortunately open ore patcher will only work until Apple stops support for Intel CPUs. Once that's done, most Intel Mac's will have to run Linux or Windows.
nicely done mate wish i hjad the cash cause would love one of these be great for lightroom machine lol nice form factor on these for the oomf and beutifully made inside impressive stuff dont see why u dont keep it audio stuff on mac is excellent seeing as ur a music guy
Always Wanted one of these, They Look Sweet; I Just cant jsutify the $$$ because it Looks Cool Add that tot he List of Stuff I'll Never Get... Like the G4 CUBE LOL Im Not even an Apple Fanboy

Totally agree with you there, I think a larger ratcheting screwdriver would be an ideal tool for that and would be what I would use in the future.

Use a good kitchen towel, never had an issue, plus there's less plastic waste.

Sometimes what you need is a mountain biking toolkit, not a computer toolkit.
Loved watching this dude, I'm new to your channel too.. Hope to see more soon, awesome project you know!
the 10 core is the best all arounder . good single core and multi core and good temp
yes that's what I put in mine, use it all day everyday running Protools doing TV post production
I Absolutely love these Mac pro Designed by the Apple kind of, I have 2 of these in use on my daily basis, These are Studio Game-play killers.
Fascinating stuff. Talk about over designed. Oh, you used far too much thermal paste (wey hey! ;-)

interesting to know! I may have a little look at that.
I bought a 6 core with 8gb memory
I upgraded to a 12 core 64 memory 1TB
Runs at 48’ while music production 56’
Machine is a monster

it's insane how much one of these still costs.
It would be great if Moore thunderbolt two devices were in the wild. More cheap thunderbolt two devices I should say.
If I recall right with an adapter you can use m.2 pcie nvme ssds.
I had an issue with the standoff on the CPU board - I did the same as you, leaving it on but what a PITA I thought it would be to take it off.
Trash Can Mac, aka THE most overpriced Ivy Bridge system on the used PC market
So tempted , but no , no , no ,no !
Maybe .

Too many computers and no real use for this one is why I’m moving it on, and I have an M4 Mac Mini on order.

Add that tot he List of Stuff I'll Never Get... Like the G4 CUBE LOL

Good video mate, behbehehbeh.
Kebab!
For what is supposed to be a professional workstation its not exactly quick repair friendly - definitely form over function!
Best to use cordless screwdriver
this Mac is as pointless as a Mac classic. great hobby device for fun projects. I'm guessing you use newer Macs.
Been using Macs since as long as I can remember :)
